Skip to comments.Cop takes 'midnight photos' of teacher's classroom
Posted on 05/06/2003 9:35:22 AM PDT by anniegetyourgun
BARRE John Mott and Tom Treece have at least one thing in common. Make that two.
Both men think they have been unfairly accused and, if you believe their critics, both have had a chilling impact on students at Spaulding High School.
Mott is the Barre Town police officer who admits he spent part of an early morning break last month photographing student projects in the classroom of a controversial history teacher.
Treece is that teacher. A passionate pacifist, he has been skewered publicly by critics who say he is pedaling his personal political views to the students in his class. Part of the proof, critics say, is in the photographs Mott took when he visited the high school April 9 while on duty, in uniform, and out of his jurisdiction.
The photographs were taken at around 1:30 a.m. after Mott, who once worked at Spaulding, persuaded a custodian to unlock the door to the classroom Treece shares with another teacher.
Mott isnt apologizing for his actions and says he has at least temporarily refused orders from Barre Town Police Chief Michael Stevens and Town Manager Carl Rogers to supply school officials with copies of the photographs.
Im going to speak to an attorney first, he said.
Mott disputes an account of the April 9 incident contained in a letter written by school Superintendent Dorothy Anderson to the police chief.
Specifically, Mott disputes Andersons claim that he banged on the front door of the high school to get the attention of night custodian Arnold Cliche, and that Cliche opened the door and let him in.
It didnt happen that way, he said.
According to Mott, he entered the school through an unlocked maintenance door, found Cliche and asked him to unlock the door to Treeces classroom room so he could take photographs with his personal camera. Although he was on duty at the time, Mott maintains that he was on a break and wanted to photograph student projects that offended him as an American and a retired military man.
I wanted everybody else to see what was in that room. You cant explain it, he said.
Among the student projects that Mott said he photographed were a poster of the President Bush with duct tape over his mouth and a large papier-mâché combat boot with the American flag stuffed inside stepping on a doll. He said there also were pictures of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and his former chief lieutenant, Ernesto Che Guevara, posted on the walls.
Having spent 30 years in uniform, I was insulted, he said. Im just taking a stand on what happens in that classroom as a resident and a voter and a taxpayer of this community.
Mott said he took the photographs less than 48 hours after attending a school board meeting at which several residents complained about what they claimed was an attempt to indoctrinate not educate students.
School officials have rejected that notion, defending Treece as a thought-provoking teacher who provides students in his public issues class with resources from the full spectrum of political perspectives.
As a teacher he (Treece) does present all sides of an issue, Anderson said.
Anderson said she was concerned that Mott used his uniform to gain access to a locked classroom after hours without supervision.
I find this behavior, at the very least, in violation of our policy for visitors at the school, she wrote in her letter to the police chief. I also find it disturbing that a police officer would wear his uniform under such circumstances thereby intimidating our employee (Cliche) into letting him in the building at a very unusual hour.
Anderson said she met with the police chief and the town manager on Friday to discuss her concerns and to reiterate her request for copies of the photographs Mott took and has been circulating in the community. She said Mott had not yet complied with that request, which is based solely on her desire to confirm the photographs were not doctored in any way.
Were not embarrassed about what was in that classroom, she said. We just want to make sure that the pictures he (Mott) took are an accurate reflection of what the classroom looked like.
Mott said the photographs he took are authentic and accused school officials of tap-dancing around an issue that was brought to their attention last month by using the circumstances under which he entered Treeces classroom as a diversion.
It leads me to believe they are out witch-hunting, he said.
Treece said he knows the feeling. He says Mott and his other detractors dont have a clue about what he does in his classroom, but that hasnt stopped them from jumping to conclusions based on his personal political views.
None of these parents know me in any way, he said. They just think they know me. Everything they know about me is hearsay. They dont have kids in my class. They have taken lies and innuendoes and run with them.
Treece does not hide his personal views and acknowledges his public criticisms of the war in Iraq and President Bush have irked many in the community. However, he said their contention that he is force-feeding his views to Spaulding students is simply wrong.
I tell kids from day one: I dont want you to agree with me, I want you to be informed and think for yourselves, he said. I have never squashed dissent in my class in any way shape or form.
Treece said his message to students is simple: Defend what you believe and if you cant defend it Im going to pick holes in your argument no matter what side of the issue youre on.
Treece said he supplies his students with a broad range of resources and encourages them to use them to come to their own conclusions.
My goal in that class is to get kids to think and be critical of everything they read and hear and see, he said.
Treece said hes tired of being painted as anti-American simply because he challenges students not to take what anyone not the president, their parents, or even he says at face value.
I want them to understand that everybodys got an agenda everybody, he said.
Treece said that goes for his detractors, some of whom are using the controversy over a six-word sentence All hail the idiot boy king that he posted on a bulletin board next to a picture of President Bush as a reason to reject the high school budget. The budget is scheduled for a re-vote next week.
Theyre out to get the budget and theyve made me their whipping boy, he said.
Treece makes no apologies for how he conducts his classes or for his own political views. In retrospect, he said, the comment he posted about Bush was probably too direct.
The board meets at 7 p.m. in the high school library. Like the Malones, both Mott and Treece said they plan to attend.
I did not recognize how fragile peoples feelings were at the time, he said. It was horrible timing on my part.
If he had it to do over again, Treece said he would spell out the same sentiments in two pages of text that wouldnt have offended anyone.
Paul and Norma Malone, the local couple who first took issue with the comment Treece posted on the board, insist theyre not out to scuttle the budget, but want to restore balance in the curriculum at Spaulding.
Our position has been and still is there should be a balance in that curriculum and respect in that school, said Paul Malone.
Although the couples criticism is not limited to Treece, they admit his comment served as a springboard for their effort.
Its not an issue of freedom of speech. That was never the issue, he said. Its an issue of balance and its an issue of professionalism.
Based on discussions with faculty, parents and students, Norma Malone said students from a largely conservative community are being urged to view the world to through a liberal lens.
Theres nothing from the center or from the right, she said, rejecting Treeces comments to the contrary.
The Malones, who have formed the group Citizens Advocating Responsible Education, say they plan to attend tonights school board meeting and present a copy of a petition signed by several hundred supporters. The petition states in part: Students must be provided a thorough, factual, unbiased study of the history of our nation, the importance of our government institutions, and the significance of our political traditions so as to engender civic duty and respect for our national values.
In order to accomplish that goal, the petition suggests revisions to the schools policy regarding academic freedom and the appointment of community members to the school boards curriculum committee.
And the teacher's a jerk, and the custodian is a walking cliche.
And the teacher's a jerk, and the custodian is a walking cliche.
You're right on all counts.
If the cop really wanted pictures of this stuff, he could have asked nicely at the front desk, during normal business hours.
As a taxpayer, he has that right.
Of course, it's entirely possible that the school administrators -- who clearly are protecting Treece -- wouldn't have let him in.
Mott may have anticipated such a response, and decided to do something stupid -- which he did.
Thomas Treece - email@example.com
Jerry Desmarais, Chair - firstname.lastname@example.com
Or, do what I do and send an e-mail to the whole freaking school so other teachers and staff are aware of citizen anger:
Here is the little pinko's website as well, http://www.vita-learn.org/shs/depots/history/treece/treece.html
Come on FREEPERS! This one is worth voicing your discourse. Post your letters so we can all enjoy!
On the other hand..he could have made a bigger impact if he had done this during the day, in front of everyone.
Treece is smart. He could have had pictures of Jesus on the wall. He would be looking for another job today!
I always assumed that was being hit by a frozen snowball.
Gummy..ping to this article!
great,it`s all over the country now.
I suggest that YOU try to use the same methods to go into a school at 1:30 in the morning and see if you do not face legal sanction if you are caught. As a public servant, the cop should only be entering the school on official public business, and not for his own political agenda. Once he is on his own agenda he is a private citizen, just like you and I.
That's the same thing the leftist socialist screw worms in Vermont will say. Next you'll here the cop is suspended without pay until he is investigated....
If he went into the office during the day the excess administrators would have been called on the phone; they would have gone down while he was being stalled in the office; they would have emptied the walls of everything; there would have been nothing to see.
He would have been prevented from taking pictures...privacy of the students would be the claim.
Don't you know what the education budgets are so high - it's for all the administrators and staff that's needed to cover everybody's a**.
You cannot determine from the article that the room was the only one locked - all classrooms could be locked, for example.

I'm also assuming that you're using zero-based indexing for the checkbox in question.

SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Giants left fielder Mark DeRosa underwent an MRI exam and nerve tests on his troublesome left wrist, and he missed his second straight start Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres.
The 35-year-old DeRosa, in his first year with San Francisco, had surgery on another part of the wrist after last season with the St. Louis Cardinals and now calls that procedure a "failure."
According to DeRosa, the tendon sheath is "completely ruptured again," the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
DeRosa said he has lost feeling in his left pinkie and ring fingers, according to the newspaper, but believes that might be related to getting hit by a pitch in late April, rather than being linked to the torn sheath.
It is unclear how long DeRosa might be sidelined or whether he could need another surgery either during or after the 2010 campaign.
DeRosa said he was able to play with the wrist injury during his season with the Cardinals.
Manager Bruce Bochy planned to limit DeRosa to a reserve role for a couple of days to let the injury calm down. DeRosa has been in a funk at the plate and taking extra hitting to try to regain his stroke, but Bochy believes that may have further aggravated the wrist.
DeRosa was in a 6-for-50 (.120) funk the past 12 games, lowering his average from .267 to .194. He has one home run and 10 RBIs.

As you may or may not know, the TR community contributes quite a bit to Stanford University's Folding@home project. Using spare processor (and graphics processor) cycles, TR's team 2630 managed to reach sixth place in the global FAH rankings several months ago. However, we've slipped to eighth place since then.
Finding cures for diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and cystic fibrosis is clearly the most important part of folding, but crushing other teams with our sheer computing might comes as a close second objective. That's why we're calling on all TR readers to, er, join the fold and help us take our rightful place at the top of the team rankings table.
We have more tools than ever at our disposition to advance the cause, too. Stanford recently released its GPU folding client, which allows folks to tap the graphics processors in Nvidia GeForce 8, AMD Radeon HD 2000-series, or newer cards for folding purposes. On certain workloads, GPUs can be orders of magnitude faster than modern CPUs. And of course, Stanford also offers software folding clients for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X 10.4, and Sony's PlayStation 3.
Check out our folding FAQ page and Stanford's official Folding@home website to learn more about folding and see how you can join Team TR.

I am working on doing a proof of concept for a new bootstrapper that will be built using Burn. So far, I have managed to get everything to work just fine. It has gone better than expected, to be honest.
The only thing that I have been unable to nail down is how to get the build in WiX UI to ask for a service username and password, then send it to the appropriate MSI. Is there anything built in to do this?
In a more general question, are there any great resources for getting started with, or getting the most out of, Burn?

The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort Unveils Expansive Suite
Tuesday August 27th, 2013 - 3:53PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
ABU DHABI--The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, located here, has unveiled the resort's flagship Royal Suite, which spans nearly 22,600 sq. ft. with four bedrooms, a private study, cinema and game room, spa treatment room and sauna as well as full living and dining room.
Believed to be the largest hotel suite in the United Arab Emirates, the suite occupies the top two floors of the resort's west wing and is priced at AED 130,000 (approx. USD $35,000) per night, according to St. Regis Hotels & Resorts.
Designed to complement the resort's beachfront location by the Arabian Gulf, the Royal Suite was inspired by the sea, sand, ancient sea worn stones and driftwood and features interiors bathed in an earth-toned palette with shades of sea mist, teal and blue. The suite includes a curated art collection, custom designed lighting and spiral staircases.
The living room features a Steinway grand piano, ocean views and access to a terrace by the outdoor swimming pool. Three bedrooms, a private study, mini-cinema and game room outfitted with a billiard table are also located on the upper level. Spanning the entire lower floor, the master bedroom offers a walk-in closet and dressing area, a spa room and sauna as well as an ocean-facing bathroom with a walk-in double shower and bathtub.
The debut of the Royal Suite marks the completion of The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, which opened late 2011. Located on the beaches of Saadiyat, the resort features 377 guestrooms and suites with views of the Arabian Gulf.

Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) is an analytical technique that separates dissolved macromolecules by size based on their elution from columns filled with a porous gel.
When GPC is coupled with light scattering, viscometer and concentration detectors (known as triple detection), it can measure absolute molecular weight, molecular size and intrinsic viscosity, and generate information on macromolecular structure, conformation, aggregation and branching.
By using GPC to measure molecular weight and these other properties, scientists can characterize molecules such as synthetic polymers, as well as natural polymers such as polysaccharides.
For all of these molecules, these parameters relate very closely to their performance in countless applications. With this technique:
From novel polymers to polymer formulations and additives, in applications from paints and coatings to foods and pharmaceuticals, Malvern offers a range of GPC systems or individual GPC detectors including SEC-MALS to suit your application needs.

This pub is right on the banks of the river Tyne just west of Newcastle on a main cycle route and popular riverside walk. Having grown up around his area I know of the Boathouse but had never eaten there. They advertise Lunch from 12-6 weekdays and 12-4 I think on weekends and state their food is homemade so when taking my Mother for lunch on a glorious day I thought we'd drop by. There are loads of picnic benches in really pretty grounds and you have an amazing view of the Tyne and countryside and the rowing club. We had a really great lunch, cottage pie with chips and veg and scampi and all the trimmings. Homemade chips were a treat and to finish we had a slab of ridiculously moist carrot cake with a great cup of coffee. All for under 20 quid including a couple of lemonades. The girl who served us was very friendly and polite and most importantly had a smile on her chops, sad to say but this is rarity these days and she well dissevered the tip we left. I'll definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, especially for an al fresco lunch.

Mortal Danger: The Immortal Game, Book 1
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Mortal Danger, the first book in The Immortal Game series, is about teen girl Edie wanting to get revenge on the teens at her high school who've bullied her. But the novel switches from being a story of revenge to a supernatural game between warring groups of monsters, in which Edie is a pawn. There's some violence, with descriptions of death and suicide, but it's brief. Swear words ("ass", "assholes," "bitch," "bitches," "crap," "s--t," "Christ," "hell," "damn") are littered throughout. There's talk of sex and some description of kissing, hugging, caressing, and more.

What's the story?
Edith "Edie" Kramer has been bullied throughout high school by the Teflon crew, a group of beautiful teens. At the beginning of the novel, she wants to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge but is stopped by handsome stranger Kian, who tells Edie she doesn't have to end her life, she can exact revenge instead. Kian gives her three favors to set her plan in motion. Edie soon realizes she's the pawn in a supernatural game that will carry out her revenge -- but hurt the people she loves.
Is it any good?
The premise of MORTAL DANGER will make readers pick up the book. Readers will want to see how Edie exacts her revenge on the people who have tormented her throughout high school. However, author Ann Aguirre fails to make Edie a sympathetic character by not showing readers at the beginning of the novel how she was bullied and making us root for her and dislike her tormentors. Readers may groan at the way Edie wants to exact her revenge -- by becoming beautiful so she can infiltrate the group of beautiful people who hurt her. Once Edie becomes beautiful, she suddenly -- and implausibly -- gains self-confidence, poise, and cattiness she never had before and inexplicably befriends some of her bullies. They're actually kind of nice, while Edie's the one making cruel comments. As for Kian, the insta-love interest, Edie starts kissing him shortly after meeting him and abandons all logic due to her love for him. Thrown into the mix is a supernatural game between warring monster groups, as well as the Japanese gang the Yakuza, while the revenge plot goes out the window and the book becomes more about supernatural agencies, urban legends, and creepy monsters than bullying.
Mortal Danger does have some good points, such as Edie being a good friend and daughter. But the plot is very confusing, with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in. It would have been more interesting had the author dug deeper into bullying and how, through Edie's own devices, things start to unravel.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about bullying. What steps would you take to stand up to your bullies? Would you let someone know, such as your parents, a teacher, or another trusted adult?
Why are novels wherein the female protagonist falls instantly in love with a devastatingly gorgeous male character so popular? Does it help move the plot along, or is it a cliché best avoided?
Have you read the books in the Immortal Game series? Why do you think trilogies and longer series are so popular in young adult literature?

I'm so glad I found this discussion because I'm going down memory lane! I miss the old Huntington and some may blame it on old age, but I need some help remembering a few things! When I was going to HHS, I worked at Frank's Shoe store. I'm trying hard to remember all the stores around me there. I know there was Nassers, Learner, Belle's, Jaskow Furs, Smart Shop and others, but I'm having a hard time remembering their exact locations. Boy, I miss those days so much! I would get my breaks at the shoe store and run down the alley and into the back door of Stone and Thomas...probably spending all the money I had made that day!! My mom would call and say "Meet me at Baileys for dinner!" and then if we had time we may go into the Smart Shop and look for some cute clothes. I remember we always wondered what our competition at Foard and Harwood or AB Shoes had going on...we used to go down and check it out! I don't want to offend when I say that Pullman Square was a nice shot in the arm for Huntington, but nothing will replace the days of old! I would love to chat with anyone who can fill in the gaps. I graduated from HHS in 1981.

does anyone remember the "blue law". after montgomery wards went out and the bazaar opened they were opening on Sunday and the police would come and arrest them and close the store down and walk the employees up to the station and book them and they would bail out. this went on for quite some time.I attended school with Jon Cox his father was the last mgr of montgomery ward in hgtn. he was sent there to grow it or shut it down.back probably in 1958???

There is a Nancy's school of dance that is quite prominent in hgtn.but it was started by Nancy Carter who grew up in Miller Ohio and graduated Fairland H.S. Her father was a retired vaudvillian that taught dance in his studio in Miller. He called his place the "cured ham farm" He was a very well known star commanding top billing on the circuit. played the London Paladiam. was headliner on a world tour on the Queen Mary, played and was friends with Red Skelton,Bob Hope Cary Grant, and many other BIG names who later became stars in tv and movies.I remember seeing his scrap book of a marquee with Bob Carter at the top in big letters and in small leters at the bottom assisted by Liberace...he was from hgtn his mother lived on third ave and about 11th or 12th street on corner.left home at about 12 or 13 and started his adventure..buried in Miller Cemetary Miller Ohio.

Danny there was a bar called the King of Clubs on the ground floor of the Milner on 7th ave owned by a guy named Pat he would really celebrate St.Paddys day by tinting the beer green he had pool tables and served food sometimes as well. I was told he later moved down on 14th st. west and had the carosel club. but I had left hgtn by then so am not sure.

#691 Dec 28, 2009
I don't remember the last name Phillips.
The 900 block of West 5th Ave. was a long way from the 1600 block.
West 5th stopped at 14th Street then started again at the 1500 block where Martin Steel was and continued to 19th Street.
My grandparents name was Stewart, They managed the Restaurant for the Union News Company in the old B&O Rail station then in the New Greyhound Bus Station near Marshall.
I went to Jefferson Elementary and was at West Jr. High in 1957 & 1958 before moving to Barboursville.

There was a little lunch counter called Brown's across from Huntington High that was good. The best places to eat were Wiggins or Miller's restaurant on 4th ave and 7th st. and of course Jim's.

Taking the polar bear plunge, one day late
Almost every day I drive my wife to work in the Third Ward, and almost every day the route takes us along Lake Michigan, from the ravine trail on the north to the end of the road at Discovery World.
When the sun shines it is an uplifting drive, full of promise and hope. On days like Monday, with the clouds and wind, it's a foreboding site with a grim kind of reality that the world is about to start all over again and it doesn't seem like much fun.
But one thing that it always does, is offer surprises.
Monday, the day after the polar bear plunge, one lonely figure was out in waist deep water, wearing a wetsuit and using one of those machines that people use to search for coins and metal in the sand.
The machine was draped over his shoulder and the wand was well under water.
What in the world could this guy have been thinking? People who jumped into the water on New Year's Day had cash in their pockets that came out when they were shivering?
Maybe, just maybe this guy knows something the rest of us don't. But I kind of doubt it.

it's quite common to see guys with metal detectors poking around the day after big events.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Arctic is seeing more precipitation as sea ice diminishes from climate warming, according to a research paper by U.S. and Canada scientists.
The study by three Dartmouth College researchers and one from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, concludes the effects from a changed hydrologic cycle is a potential major component of climate change that could create uncertainty in climate predictions. They also say it's too soon to tell whether more precipitation.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Arctic offshore drilling by Royal Dutch Shell PLC drew protests on two continents this year, but a more modest proposal for extracting petroleum where polar bears roam has moved forward with much less attention.
While Shell proposed exploratory wells in the Chukchi Sea about 80 miles off Alaska's northwest coast, a Texas oil company wants to build a gravel island as a platform for five or more extraction wells that could tap oil 6 miles from shore in the Beaufort Sea.
ANCHORAGE — A former beauty queen who hosts an Outdoor Channel adventure show illegally shot an Alaska grizzly bear and conspired to cover up the violation, according to charges filed in a rural state court.
Theresa Vail, 25, of Wichita, Kansas, the star of "Limitless with Theresa Vail," is charged with killing a grizzly bear in May without possessing a state bear tag for the animal. Investigators say she held a single bear tag and shot a male grizzly bear, attempted to kill it with a second shot, and instead fired and killed a second bear, a sow grizzly.
ANCHORAGE — Police in Alaska's capital city have tentatively ruled out gunshots, drugs or suicide in the death of the newly elected mayor but have not determined whether he died from a natural event or foul play.
The adult son of Stephen "Greg" Fisk, 70, found the mayor's body Monday afternoon and alerted police.
Fisk was found with injuries that police did not describe. Police are awaiting autopsy results to announce a possible cause of death.
"It's not clear what the cause of those injuries are," said police spokeswoman Erann Kalwara.
ANCHORAGE — As world leaders began talks in Paris on solutions to global warming, the National Park Service on Monday released a report detailing agency efforts to address threats to national parks from climate change.
The report lists 24 case studies in U.S. parks from Maine to American Samoa, including two in Alaska.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell noted the report Monday in Paris, where she was scheduled to meet with delegates to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee and discuss protecting World Heritage sites.
ANCHORAGE — Alaska seafood has not been tainted by the Fukushima nuclear disaster four years ago, according to test results announced Monday by a state agency.
Alaska health authorities working with the federal Food and Drug Administration pronounced Alaska salmon, cod, halibut and other species free from radioactive contamination connected to the power plant damaged in Japan more than four years ago.
ANCHORAGE — More Arctic sea ice melting each summer from global warming is making it easier for ships to plot routes through the environmentally sensitive Bering Strait, and is prompting concerns among U.S. Coast Guard officials about the potential dangers of a vessel crashing and leaking oil.
ANCHORAGE — A second major oil company has abandoned plans to drill in the Arctic Ocean off the northwest coast of Alaska.
Statoil announced Tuesday it is giving up 16 of its company-operated leases in the Chukchi Sea. The Norwegian company also is abandoning its stake in 50 Chukchi leases operated by ConocoPhillips.
The company on its website said the leases, purchased at a federal lease sale in 2008, no longer made financial sense.
ANCHORAGE — Woolly mammoths and other large ice age mammals thrived in northern Alaska until environmental changes turned grasslands into peat and rising sea levels submerged the Bering Land Bridge, cutting off their access to Asia, according to a research paper published Monday.
Researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the University of California studied bones of ice age horses, steppe bison, mammoths and other animals to determine why they died out in what's now Arctic Alaska.
ANCHORAGE — Three weeks after Royal Dutch Shell announced it was walking away from exploratory drilling in U.S. Arctic waters, the Obama administration has taken steps to keep drill rigs out of Alaska's northern ocean for a decade or more.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell announced Friday that the federal government is cancelling federal petroleum lease sales in U.S. Arctic waters that were scheduled for 2016 and 2017.

The Grace Awakening
Believing in Grace is One Thing. Living it is Another. Includes a Thirty-Day Devotional
By Charles R. Swindoll
Thomas NelsonCopyright © 2010 Charles R. Swindoll, Inc.

Grace: It's Really Amazing!
[The] moralizing and legalizing of the Gospel of God's grace is a dull heresy peddled to disappointed people who are angry because they have not received what they had no good reason to expect.
THERE ARE KILLERS ON THE LOOSE TODAY. The problem is that you can't tell by looking. They don't wear little buttons that give away their identity, nor do they carry signs warning everybody to stay away. On the contrary, a lot of them carry Bibles and appear to be clean-living, nice-looking, law-abiding citizens. Most of them spend a lot of time in churches, some in places of religious leadership. Many are so respected in the community, their neighbors would never guess they are living next-door to killers.
They kill freedom, spontaneity, and creativity; they kill joy as well as productivity. They kill with their words and their pens and their looks. They kill with their attitudes far more often than with their behavior. There is hardly a church or Christian organization or Christian school or missionary group or media ministry where such danger does not lurk. The amazing thing is that they get away with it, day in and day out, without being confronted or exposed. Strangely, the same ministries that would not tolerate heresy for ten minutes will step aside and allow these killers all the space they need to maneuver and manipulate others in the most insidious manner imaginable. Their intolerance is tolerated. Their judgmental spirits remain unjudged. Their bullying tactics continue unchecked. And their narrow-mindedness is either explained away or quickly defended. The bondage that results would be criminal were it not so subtle and wrapped in such spiritual-sounding garb.
This day—this very moment—millions who should be free, productive individuals are living in shame, fear, and intimidation. The tragedy is they think it is the way they should be. They have never known the truth that could set them free. They are victimized, existing as if they were living on death row instead of enjoying the beauty and fresh air of the abundant life Christ modeled and made possible for all of His followers to claim. Unfortunately, most don't have a clue about what they are missing.
That whole package, in a word, is grace. That's what is being assaulted so continually, so violently. Those who aren't comfortable denying it have decided to debate it. Similar to the days of the Protestant Reformation, grace has again become a theological football kicked from one end of the field to the other as theologians and preachers, scholars and students argue over terms like frustrated coaches on opposite sides trying to gain advantage over each other. It is a classic no-win debate that trivializes the issue and leaves the masses who watch the fight from the stands confused, polarized, or, worst of all, bored. Grace was meant to be received and lived out to the fullest, not dissected and analyzed by those who would rather argue than eat. Enough of this! Grace must be awakened and released, not denied ... enjoyed and freely given, not debated.
Grace received but unexpressed is dead grace. To spend one's time debating how grace is received or how much commitment is necessary for salvation, without getting into what it means to live by grace and enjoy the magnificent freedom it provides, quickly leads to a counterproductive argument. It becomes little more than another tedious trivial pursuit where the majority of God's people spend days looking back and asking, "How did we receive it?" instead of looking ahead and announcing, "Grace is ours ... Let's live it!" Deny it or debate it, and we kill it. My plea is that we claim it and allow it to set us free. When we do, grace will become what it was meant to be—really amazing! When that happens, our whole countenance changes.
Dr. Karl Menninger, in a book entitled The Vital Balance, at one point discusses the negativistic personality. That's the type of person who says no to just about everything. Calling these sad folks "troubled patients," Menninger (no doubt with tongue in cheek) mentions several of the things that characterize their lives: they have never made an unsound loan, voted for a liberal cause, or sponsored any extravagances. Why? He suggests it is because they cannot permit themselves the pleasure of giving. He describes them in vivid terms: "rigid, chronically unhappy individuals, bitter, insecure, and often suicidal."
I would add one further description—they have never given themselves permission to be free. Still imprisoned behind the bars of petty concerns and critical suspicions, they have learned to exist in a bondage that has hindered their ability to see beyond life's demands. Lacking grace, they have reduced life to the rules and regulations essential for survival. Their God is too small, their world is too rigid, and therefore their faces shout "No!"
Candidly, I know of nothing that has the power to change us from within like the freedom that comes through grace. It's so amazing that it will change not only our hearts but also our faces. And goodness knows, some of us are overdue for a face change! Were you reared by parents whose faces said "No"? Or are you married to someone with a "No" face? If that is true, you may envy those who had "Yes"-face parents or are married to "Yes"-face mates. All of us are drawn to those whose faces invite us in and urge us on.
During his days as president, Thomas Jefferson and a group of companions were traveling across the country on horseback. They came to a river that had left its banks because of a recent downpour. The swollen river had washed the bridge away. Each rider was forced to ford the river on horseback, fighting for his life against the rapid currents. Each rider was threatened with the very real possibility of death, which caused a traveler who was not part of their group to step aside and watch. After several had plunged in and made it to the other side, the stranger asked President Jefferson if he would carry him across the river. The president agreed without hesitation. The man climbed on, and shortly thereafter the two of them made it safely to the other side. As the stranger slid off the back of the horse onto dry ground, one in the group asked him, "Tell me, why did you select the president to ask this favor of?" The man was shocked, admitting he had no idea it was the president who had helped him. "All I know," he said, "is that on some of your faces was written the answer 'No,' and on some of them was the answer 'Yes.' His was a 'Yes' face."
Freedom gives people a "Yes" face. I am confident Jesus had a "Yes" face. I have never seen Him, but I've determined from what I've read about Him that this was true. What a contrast He must have been! He was surrounded by lettered men, religious, robed, righteous, law-quoting, professional men whose very demeanor announced "No!" Pious without, killers within ... yet none of their poison seeped into His life. On the contrary, He revolutionized the entire direction of religion because He announced "Yes" while all His professional peers were frowning "No." That has intrigued me for years. How could it be? What was it that kept Him from getting caught in their grip? In one word, it was grace. He was so full of truth and grace, He left no inner space for their legalistic poison.
While thinking back on his days with Jesus, John (one of the Twelve) remembers there was something about Him that was like no one else, during which time His disciples "beheld His glory." His uniqueness was that incredible "glory," a glory that represented the very presence of God. In addition, this glorious One was "full of grace and truth." Pause and let that sink in. It was His glory mixed with grace and truth that made Him different. In a world of darkness and demands, rules and regulations, requirements and expectations demanded by the hypocritical religious leaders, Jesus came and ministered in a new and different way—He alone, full of grace and full of truth, introduced a revolutionary, different way of life.
Remembering that uniqueness, John adds, "For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace" (John 1:16).
Don't miss the tie-in with John 1:14. Initially, John wrote, "We beheld His glory," and then he added, in effect, "We received His fullness." John and the other disciples became marked men as a result. Grace heaped upon grace rubbed off, leaving them different. His style became theirs. His tolerance, theirs. His acceptance, love, warmth, and compassion were absorbed by those men, so much so it ultimately transformed their lives. By the end of the first century, the ministry of those same men had sent shock waves throughout the Roman world.
John puts the capstone on his introductory remarks by summing up the difference between contrastive styles of ministry: "For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17).
With the Mosaic Law came requirements, rules, regulations. With those exacting demands came galling expectations, which fueled the Pharisees' fire. By adding to the laws, the Pharisees not only lengthened the list, they intensified everyone's guilt and shame. Obsessed with duty, external conduct, and a constant focusing only on right and wrong (especially in others' lives), they promoted a system so demanding there was no room left for joy. This led to harsh, judgmental, even prejudicial pronouncements as the religious system they promoted degenerated into external performance rather than internal authenticity. Obedience became a matter of grim compulsion instead of a joyous overflow prompted by love.
But when "grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ," a long-awaited revolution of the heart began to set religious captives free. Fearful bondage motivated by guilt was replaced with a fresh motivation to follow Him in truth simply out of deep devotion and delight. Rather than focusing on the accomplishments of the flesh, He spoke of the heart. Instead of demanding that the sinner fulfill a long list of requirements, He emphasized faith, if only the size of a mustard seed.
The change spelled freedom, as the Lord Himself taught: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). Rigid, barren religion was, at last, replaced by a grace-oriented relationship—liberating grace. His followers loved it. His enemies hated it ... and Him. Without a doubt, the earliest grace killers were the Pharisees.
What exactly is grace? And is it limited to Jesus' life and ministry? You may be surprised to know that Jesus never used the word. He just taught it, and, equally important, He lived it. Furthermore, the Bible never gives us a one-statement definition, though grace appears throughout its pages ... not only the word itself but numerous demonstrations of it. Understanding what grace means requires our going back to an old Hebrew term that meant "to bend, to stoop." By and by, it came to include the idea of "condescending favor."
If you have traveled to London, you have perhaps seen royalty. If so, you may have noticed sophistication, aloofness, distance. On occasion, royalty in England will make the news because someone in the ranks of nobility will stop, kneel down, and touch or bless a commoner. That is grace. There is nothing in the commoner that deserves being noticed or touched or blessed by the royal family. But because of grace in the heart of the royal person, there is the desire at that moment to pause, to stoop, to touch, even to bless.
The late pastor and Bible scholar Donald Barnhouse perhaps said it best: "Love that goes upward is worship; love that goes outward is affection; love that stoops is grace."
To show grace is to extend favor or kindness to one who doesn't deserve it and can never earn it. Receiving God's acceptance by grace always stands in sharp contrast to earning it on the basis of works. Every time the thought of grace appears, there is the idea of its being undeserved. In no way is the recipient getting what he or she deserves. Favor is being extended simply out of the goodness of the heart of the giver.
I vividly remember the last spanking I ever received. It was on my thirteenth birthday, as a matter of fact. Having just broken into the sophisticated ranks of the teen world, I thought I was something on a stick. My father wasn't nearly as impressed as I was with my great importance and newfound independence. I was lying on my bed. He was outside the window on a muggy October afternoon in Houston, weeding the garden. He said, "Charles, come out and help me weed the garden." I said something like: "No ... it's my birthday, remember?" My tone was sassy, and my deliberate lack of respect was eloquent. I knew better than to disobey my dad, but, after all, I was the ripe old age of thirteen. He set a new 100-meter record that autumn afternoon. He was in the house and all over me like white on rice, spanking me all the way out to the garden. As I recall, I weeded until the moonlight was shining on the pansies.
That same night he took me out to a surprise dinner. Earlier he had given me what I deserved. Later he gave me what I did not deserve. The birthday dinner was grace. He condescended in favor upon this rebellious young man. That evening I enjoyed what a proper theologian named Benjamin Warfield called "free sovereign favor to the ill-deserving." I enjoyed grace.
One more thing should be emphasized about grace: It is absolutely and totally free. You will never be asked to pay it back. You couldn't even if you tried. Most of us have trouble with that thought because we work for everything we get. As the old saying goes, "There ain't no free lunch." But in this case, grace comes to us free and clear, no strings attached. We should not even try to repay it; to do so is insulting.
Imagine going to the house of a friend who has invited you over to enjoy a meal. You finish the delicious meal and then listen to some fine music and visit for a while. Finally, you stand up and get your coat as you prepare to leave. But before you leave, you reach into your pocket and say, "Now, how much do I owe you?" What an insult! You don't do that with someone who has graciously given you a meal. Isn't it strange, though, how this world is running over with people who think there's something they must do to pay God back? Somehow they are hoping God will smile on them if they work really hard and earn His acceptance, but that's an acceptance on the basis of works. That's not the way it is with grace.
And now that Christ has come and died and thereby satisfied the Father's demands on sin, all we need to do is claim His grace by accepting the free gift of eternal life. Period. He smiles on us because of His Son's death and resurrection. It's grace, my friend, amazing grace. That is enough to give anybody a "Yes" face!
We use grace to describe many things in life:
a well-coordinated athlete or dancer
good manners and being considerate of others
beautiful, well-chosen words
consideration and care for other people
various expressions of kindness and mercy
Those statements remind me of Christ. What a perfect illustration of grace! Think of several examples with me. He stood alongside a woman caught in adultery. The Law clearly stated, "Stone her." The grace killers who set her up demanded the same. Yet Christ said to those self-righteous Pharisees, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone." What grace! Under the Law they had every legal right to bury her beneath the rocks in their hands ... and they were ready. There they stood with self-righteous fire in their eyes, but He intervened in grace.
